Goofs
At the beginning, when Marshall Wade comes into town leading an extra horse, he throws that horse's rein onto the hitching post rail, and it drops right off. As he steps down from his horse, the other horse's rein is now tightly wound around the rail.

Quotes
Jake Wade: So tell me, Clint, if things had worked out differently - were you gonna give me a gun, or shoot me in the back?
Clint Hollister: [pause] I was gonna give you a gun.
Jake Wade: [flinging a handgun some distance away] There's your gun.
Clint Hollister: I was gonna hand you yours!
Jake Wade: Well, you like me better than I like you.

Classic western of good v. bad

Robert Taylor stars as Jake Wade, former outlaw gone straight who must battle his old partner, Richard Widmark as Clint Holister, the leader of a band of outlaws wanting to find stolen bank money, the location of which only Jake Wade knows. Robert Taylor does a competent job in the lead, but Richard Widmark really steals the show as the menacing leader of the gang. The movie is exciting, fast paced and leads to a satisfying climax. Good solid western.
